Galaxy A40 not having stock AOD

Marcel1981 — Sat, 14 Dec 2019 06:45:30 GMT

Purchased this week an A40 to replace my 2 Galaxy A3's (2017). With a "follow-up" model you could expect that at least the options are present that were also present with the previous model. But no AOD??? How could Samsung ever think of not supporting that tiny app?! Yes, third party apps are available to do the job, but that's really not an option in combination with the weak battery. Third party apps consume up to 5-8% battery power per hour! Please in the next update??

I agree AOD is a very useful feature on the phone @Marcel1981

I would therefore suggest you send your feedback to Samsung via the Samsung Members App so it gets direct to the Samsung Developers.

I had A3-2017 prior which had it, roughly same price strange. Its not a flagship feature so?... the ones in playstore use a lot of battery! .its such a small feature, it could easily be in an update. A40 definately needs it its so much easier to tap check message. Could then turn of DP to wake. Stock one uses hardly any batter also.....well just keep at them in the memebers app!

I have just recently changed to a new phone A40. Disgusted this does not have AOD. Previously had an A5 which had this function. I would not have chosen this new phone had I known this. Needs to be added to an update.

I would get a pixel, older iphone once you stop using the a40. I have both the iPhone 11 and pixel 5 now and they are both great phones though if you want more value for money and want the phone for a longer amount of time I would get the iPhone 11
